SAMIR AMIN , ON GAZA , july 2014

SAMIR AMIN on Gaza July 30th 2014

Israel
is conducting systematic State terrorism against the people of Gaza. Israel
initiated State terrorism as of 1948, with organised massacres of whole
Palestinian villages (Deir Yassine, Tantour and many others) and deportation of
hundreds of thousands people (in fact ethnic cleansing). It has never accepted
the idea of a peace settlement recognising a Palestinian State. It is
continuously establishing settlements in the occupied territories submitted to
apartheid policy. It has never respected any decision of the UN and developed
nuclear arms not tolerated for any other State in the Region. It is submitting
Gaza to a blockade which makes survival in the strip almost impossible.

The
least that we should expect is severe sanctions compelling Israel to respect
the rights of the Palestinians. But for sure US, Britain, France and Germany
will oppose their veto to such a minimal normal civilised response to Israel
terrorism! That demonstrates that the imperialist powers pursue in the region
as elsewhere their exclusive target which is to establish their military
control over the Planet and that Israel is their ally for the implementation of
that programme.
